Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device.

jKeep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

jDo not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

jHandle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera mal- function or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

jDo not point the lens at strong light sources for extended periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

jKeep away from strong magnetic fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromag- netic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

jAvoid sudden changes in temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temper- ature.

jTurn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source

Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in dam- age to product memory or internal circuitry.
